... in the mean time buy a damn saw to limb out the sucker tree crowding the deck tomorrow. Just go to HomeyD and buy a pruning saw.

Was there a tag that said, "Inpected by Sum Ting Wong"? that is offensive...but I am still laughing!

The blade says "Made in Sweden" in the first pic and these saws are made in the USA. I've got 2 versions of the Wyoming Saw and none of the blades say that. I've never seen one like the one in OP.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

clamp the saw in a vise and flex it so the ends move towards each other and then slip the blade over the posts. I have to do this on older bow saws that the Scout Troop has.

I finally got around to calling Wy Saw and spoke to a helpful fellow there. From the description I gave him, it rang no bells and he said he has been with them for about 20 years. I sent an email with a couple pictures and got the below response:
"Paul, I discovered this saw was sold briefly by us over 35 years ago. To get the blade to fit the handle requires the frame to be pushed or flexed against a fixed object (like the floor). The frame will flex just enough for the blade to fit the pin in the handle."
I tried it this morning and it in fact worked. They also offered to 'make it work' if I couldn't get it to flex enough...I assume by retrofitting a tension screw. A pretty good offer, but I think I'll probably just rely on the flex approach to get it assembled.
Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
